Questions & Answers

How should I prepare the fruits for best texture?

Use fresh, ripe fruits and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Prepare sensitive fruits like apples with a splash of lime juice to prevent browning.

Can I substitute the honey in the dressing?

Yes, for a vegan option, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup without compromising flavor.

Is it necessary to chill the salad before serving?

Chilling for at least 15 minutes allows the flavors to blend and enhances the refreshing taste.

What fruits work well as seasonal substitutes?

Mangoes, peaches, and raspberries make excellent alternatives or additions depending on availability.

How long does this fruit mixture stay fresh?

Best consumed within a day; refrigeration slows oxidation, but fruits are freshest soon after preparation.

Can I prepare the salad in advance for a gathering?

Yes, prepare and chill ahead, but add delicate fruits or mint garnish just before serving for optimum texture and flavor.
